About Us

Our Busy Gals Classic Reading Society has been in existence since April 24, 2009.A few of my friends and I wanted to read the classic literature and books we should have read while in High School. And having children currently in High School we wanted to read some of the things they were being asked to read.

Purpose for the Busy Gals Reading Society

“To become well read in great classic literature, to study the grand masters, to become more intelligent, “to seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom” D& C 88:118.”

So this Blog will be the place for our dedicated readers to come and see what book we are reading and also see how things turned out at our discussion of the book. Sharon S. - Founder
